Artist Olga Brazhnikova: "You can create a masterpiece with any material. Painting: Gouache paint gouache famous artists

I still walk on the blogs of different artists and look after Gaisha, which people work. (I have it too different, but it is necessary to see what people do.) I realized that I personally, the watercolor is bad for the captivity. It is necessary for something more or faster drying. And at the same time, the capricious. Therefore, the gouache seems now the more optimal option for the captivity, when light changes very quickly, weather conditions and there is no sense of any amenities.

I have not yet matured on the oil yet, you need to wear too much gravity, including canlets or boards for work, as well as a special drawer for etudes so that they do not smear when transporting. And now, I have now when equipped with watercolor, pastels and color pencils, just shoulders come off. So much that after the last two-month trips, I live with Woltaren. This is not a man, if that. This is an ointment of pain in muscles and joints.

My most favorite artists-plenagerists are now James Garney (James Gurney) and Nathan Fowkes. It turned out that both - the other - illustrators, like me, who go to the plenuer or draw from nature for inspiration and for pumping artistic muscles. I did not specifically choose them on this principle - it just happened. James is famous for his "dinotopia" (by the way, his book on drawing in Russian "Color and Light" has recently published, in English here: Color and Light: A Guide for the Realist Painter (James Gurney Art)), and Neuten - Artist Animator (you can learn from www.schoolism.com). And so I like, with what a violence and speed, both of these comrants work at the Plenuel gouache, that even the tips of the fingertips kneads - I want to rush and the most gouache or casin.

These are my heroes now, in general. I would like to go to work with a detailed poverty to a more free smear. But not because I sobbed a wake over the details - this will not happen, I adore them. And because I would like to see ready-made or almost ready-made work, which could be used for more serious canvases. Because now, while I bring to the mind of an outline from nature and teaching - by memory and in the photo - there is no strength for a larger repetition.

In search of gouash varieties, I came across another talented illustrator, which I will not refer here, because he causes me some internal contradictions. And I often faced the fact that it was from Western illustrators it is useless to ask about materials or some subtleties of work. In 90% of cases, they simply do not respond and are not particularly sprayed on exactly how they work. I understand their position, but I consider it fu. But it turned out that there is an even more excellent degree. A talented illustrator on which I will not refer to all questions about the technique and the materials used is very clearly: "Please Send Me An Email to Purchase the information" (send me a letter to buy information). I first thought that he was simply sealed when he saw a signature and under one of the works after the list of materials used. Because PURCHASE INFORMATION is a purchase information, but to Purchase the information - purchase of information. But no. A person really shares information only for money. And I do not understand while I treat it.

On the one hand he is right. This information is also not herself from the sky. In his work technique, he invested time and money. It is scary to think how much money I have already spent to find the most suitable materials suitable for me. And he has. Why should he share now with someone free? I myself have often faced quite often and with the fact that my detailed stories or thoughtful topics and lessons that people received for free were used for whole master classes, that is, they are moneticed and all past me in someone else's piggy bank, including in the piggy bank Recognition. But there is still such a thing as creative exchange. Without it there is no normal development. There is only stagnation. What if my information, which I shared from the soul, helped become on my feet some very cool artist?! After all, without him, the world would be much poorer.

Another point. Personally, I am not ready to pay a person for the information without which I can safely do it (well, let's look further, which is there). For the master class - yes. And for one proposal, which roller he puts paint or in what proportions breeds - rather no. Although, this is the fee for the time spent on explaining! And suddenly it was this detail to me more than any master class? Very complicated topic.

What do you think about this? Does artists come correctly that all their knowledge are monetized? Well done they or disgust it? Only, please do not tell me about the golden middleware, which is possible and for free to share and simultaneously translate into bills in different master classes and sales. About this speech does not go. It is so clear that it is possible and so smart, like. And what about the inexpensive: "To buy this information, write me imel"?

Faces of people on most paintings artist are darkened or turned to the side. This is done in order to express emotions and that the body "say". "I always tried to show the world only positive moments of life. I hope that my work brings joy, peace and comfort to the viewer, "says Hanks.

Valler- Thin tonal gradation of the same color.

Wet wet - This technique is familiar to anyone who has been engaged in watercolor, and often applies when you need to portray the clouds or a misty cheek back plan. Working in the way "wet in wet", you must breed the paint a little stronger than usual, apply it on paper and quickly add liquid diluted paint to another color. After that, the paints will begin to break out, forming bizarre figures with soft, blurred edges. If this did not happen, it means that you insufficiently spread the paints or too late with the application of the second layer, and the bottom layer of paint managed to dry out this time. To avoid this, I advise you to pre-moisten the paper with a brushes moistened in clean water. This reception is good when you need to write a figure with clear outlines and not blurred color. At the same time, individual brush strokes remain in the picture. This is one of the classic gouache work techniques, and with it can be achieved by really amazing results. Especially impressive looks close to each other with different colors, having a clear shape of paint smears. Since the gouache is opaque, you can apply light paint over the dark, and vice versa.

Gouache fill with color transition - Art technique, which is often used to create a beautiful background with a smooth transition by tone. Allowing to achieve a smooth transition of color from dark to bright or even reduce color to a white background. It is followed as follows: selected shades
They are applied with horizontal stripes, after which we gradually begin to smear the paints (the paints should not have time to dry). The movement of the brush on the right left, then left to right. To create a smooth transition, you can also use a sponge.

Impasto - Technique concluded in the imposition of thick paints with thick layers. If you want to use the impast, take the tube that have already used it again: such paint will be thicker than newly open. Gouache can also be thicken also additive for acrylic or special addition to the Aquapasto company WinSor & Newton, created for the use of impast technique when working with water-based paints.

Carnation - Output of paints in several layers. It was used for the image of human and body parts. The technique made it possible to achieve maximum realism in the image.

Glaze - The method that lies in applying the transparent layers of other tones over the main color. Due to the overlap of the main color, a new deep shade is obtained by translucent layers. For Guaashi, this method is available as well as for watercolor. Gouache needs to be diluted quite strongly to it becoming transparent. With the help of the lesser technique, you can create a unique effect of fog, the gouache for this is suitable as no other material.

Smear - This is a trace left by a brush. In painting, oil smears may have greater expressiveness due to the greater dense of the material and the thickness of the colorful layer. Using the smear technique, it is possible to strengthen the speaker, empowering additional expressiveness. The smears are written on paper of any humidity. But the best results can be achieved on a slightly damp and dry paper.

Monotypia (From the Greek "Monos" - one, the United and "Tupos" - the imprint) - one of the simplest graphic techniques, the origins of which will go to the 17th century. The essence of monotype is to apply from the hand of paints on a flat and smooth surface, followed by print on another surface (on the machine) or on paper folded in half. The resulting imprint is always unique, and it is impossible to create two identical work. Next, the resulting color or monochrome blots are either left in its original form, or they think over the appropriate image and draw missing parts.

Multilayer painting - the most important technical multiplicity
B Oil painting, requiring dismemberment of work on a series of consecutive steps (submarines, registration, lesing), separated by interruptions for full of paint. In the performance of a large thematic composition, as well as with long work at all, multilayer painting is the only full-fledged oil painting technique. Until the middle of the XIX century. All the largest advanced artists of the past applied this technique as the main one. Later impressionists and their followers abandoned her.
From a narrowly technological point of view, not related to the technique of old masters, the concept of multilayer painting can only correspond to the regulations on the dried colorful layer (without submarine and lescing).

Pastomous machinery Guosses are also available. This technique is to apply thick, opaque paint on the working surface. This technique is inherent in the main oil painting. The texture, light and shadow in the paintings written in pastoral techniques depend not only on the color, but also on the shape and direction of the laid smears. Gouache, too, you can work in this style, especially if it is based on PVA or acrylic. Working in pasto-old technique and using the usual artistic gouache, you need to remember that too thick layer of this paint is used to crack and crumble after drying. Therefore, it is necessary to very carefully add layers of thick gouache on the canvas to get the necessary, for this technique and material, the "golden middle".

Pointillism -The translation denotes "dot." The technique allows you to reach visual effects due to strokes of a point or rectangular shape, excluding mixing colors.

Uniform fill with brush - Used for staining surfaces or their parts. Performed with a brush. The gouache should not be too thick (paint will fall lumps) or too liquid (spots will appear). Fill the outline starts from the edges.

Splashing - Very simple and pleasant way to create texture. With the help of this technique you can draw pebbles on the road, river pebbles, leaves and similar things. It is best to spray gouache with a small painting brush (preferably new and designed for work only with gouache, but not with oil or water-emulsion colors). Load the paint brush well, pull out her bristles back (from the picture), and then drop them sharply. The bristles rush forward and the whole cloud of small droplets flies with them. In order not to sprinkle the whole picture, make a paper mask carved from a newspaper or an unnecessary sheet of paper, and cover the part of the picture that should remain not sprawled.

SG raffito - This technique is akin to engraving. The essence of this reception is to scratch the damp paint with a pointed wand or knife tip to expose the bottom layer of paint. When working with a gouache, you must fulfill the campfoot as soon as possible - for literally a few seconds after applying the upper layer of paint, since gouache, unlike oil paints, dries almost instantly. With the help of the Sgrafthito technique, you can create very beautiful unusual textures that best look in the foreground of the picture

Mixed technique - In addition, the gouache is perfectly used in mixed painting techniques. For example, the background is made in a gouache, and the drawing on the background acrylic. Flowers gouache and acrylic are obtained very spectacular. The gouache can also work in combination with watercolor, pastel, tempera.

"Dry brush" - In painting and graphics, auxiliary technique, consisting of working weakly saturated paint rigid brushes. As an independent technique, dry brush is used mainly in decorative art. Reception externally simulates color pencils. Simple performed. It makes it possible to easily mix colors directly on paper.

Dry lescing - no less interesting method. Dry brush leaves a colorful trace, from under which the lower layers are light.

Sphumato - Thin transition
veta in color. Mitigating the outlines of the figures and items in the black and white modeling in general, which allows you to transfer to the air enveloping them. Reception of Sphumato, as the most important element of the air perspective, was theoretically justified and was applied by Leonardo da Vinci.

Stamping - application of impulse with sponge, wool or even crumpled
Sheet paper. . Especially successfully can be imitated by coarse land, thick grass or foliage. In addition to the sponge, the texture can also be created by a strip of corrugated paper or folded several times of cardboard, - while there are very unusual and unexpected effects.
